Cover Story: A redox-active and electrochromic film of triptycene poly(ether-imide) with triarylamine units could be facilely fabricated on the ITO surface, through the electrochemical oxidative arylamine coupling reactions of a triptycene-cored, triphenylamine-terminated bis(ether imide) in an electrolyte solution. The electro-generated film displayed yellow-orange and blue coloring upon electro-oxidation. The electrochromic device using the obtained polymer film as active layer, exhibited promising electrochromic performance. View the paper here.
